Everything a delivery kitchen runs on

Built for kitchens that cook for subscribers, delivery and pickup every day.

Tiffin and meal-plan customers live in a notebook and a WhatsApp group.

Meal Subscriptions

Plans with lengths, meal days and meal times. Each day's meals are placed as real orders, and customers choose, skip or pause from their own dashboard.

A thali or combo plate is hard to price, print and cost.

Thali items and specials

Thali items list the dishes they include, with choice groups like "Choose 1 sabzi" and paid extras. Flag dishes as specials and they show in an "Our specials" row on the menu.

You find out an ingredient ran out when an order is already in.

Inventory and Stock Autopilot

Recipes deduct stock on every order, packaging is deducted per order type, and food cost shows per dish. With Stock Autopilot a dish marks itself Sold out when an ingredient runs out.

Delivery orders come by phone and the rider details get lost.

Direct delivery

A delivery link and QR with distance-based fees and prepaid payment. Add the rider's name and number or a courier tracking link and the customer sees it.

Customers keep asking what's for lunch.

WhatsApp from your own number

Today's menu, plan start, renewal reminders and order updates go out from your outlet's WhatsApp Business number, with push notifications as well.

Tickets get missed when the line is busy.

KOTs that print themselves

KOTs print automatically to your thermal printer from Restrofi Connect on a PC or from an Android tablet, with a kitchen display on any screen.

RestroAI reads your day's orders and sends one plain-language WhatsApp summary each morning: what sold, what slowed down and what needs your attention.

Questions, answered

Something else on your mind? Ask our team.

How does Restrofi work for a cloud kitchen?

A cloud kitchen runs its whole day on Restrofi: direct delivery and pickup orders from its own ordering link and QR, counter and phone orders entered by staff, KOTs printed to the kitchen, GST invoices on every order, ingredient stock that deducts itself, and Meal Subscriptions for customers who eat with you every day. Restrofi takes zero commission on these orders.

What are meal subscriptions in Restrofi?

Meal plans the kitchen sells for a set length (1 to 366 days) and 5, 6 or 7 meal days a week, with one or more meal times such as lunch and dinner, for delivery or pickup. Each meal day Restrofi places the subscriber's meal as a real order, so it reaches the KOT printer and the kitchen display like any other order. Customers pick their dish before the cut-off, skip a day or pause from their Restrofi dashboard, and a calendar shows every meal eaten, skipped or paused.

Can customers sign up and pay for a meal plan themselves?

Yes. Meal plans appear on the outlet's menu page as cards with a cover photo. A customer verifies their phone number, picks a plan and pays online through the outlet's own payment gateway. Staff can also enrol a subscriber at the counter and record a cash or UPI payment.

What happens when a subscriber skips or pauses a meal?

Skipped and paused days are not counted, so the plan's end date moves out and no meal is lost. Renewal reminders go out before a plan ends, and on renewal the unused meals can be carried forward up to the limit the kitchen sets. A cancelled plan paid online can be refunded through the payment gateway.

How do subscribers know what's cooking today?

The kitchen sets Today's menu for each meal time from the dashboard. Subscribers get it as a WhatsApp message from the outlet's own number and as a push notification, and choose their dish from it. A subscriber who walks in can also use the day's meal on a QR-menu order: one plan dish is priced at ₹0.

How much does the Cloud Kitchen plan cost?

The Cloud Kitchen plan costs ₹15,000 per outlet per year, GST included. It covers Restrofi Premium plus the Cloud Kitchen pack, which bundles Stock Autopilot, WhatsApp, Delivery and Meal Subscriptions. The Restrofi team switches the pack on for the outlet. Selling meal plans and running delivery need a live payment gateway and a connected WhatsApp Business number.

Does Restrofi track ingredients and food cost for a cloud kitchen?

Yes. Each dish, variant and add-on can carry a recipe; stock is deducted on every order, packaging is deducted per order type, low-stock alerts fire at the reorder level, and food cost and margin are shown per dish. Wastage, staff meals, counts, suppliers and purchase bills are recorded too. Stock Autopilot (₹599 per outlet per month) marks a dish Sold out on the QR menu, POS, app and kitchen screen when an ingredient runs out, drafts recipes for the whole menu in one pass, and turns a photo of a purchase bill into stock.

Does Restrofi support delivery with my own riders?

Yes, with the Delivery add-on (₹499 per outlet per month): a delivery link and QR, distance-based delivery fees and prepaid online payment. When an order leaves, staff add the rider's name and number or a courier's tracking link, and the customer sees it with the order.

What is a Thali item?

A plate of several dishes sold at one price. The menu card lists the dishes it includes and their portions, choices such as "Choose 1 sabzi" work as choice groups, and paid extras work as add-ons. The cost of each included dish can be entered for food-cost reporting and is never shown to customers.

Can Restrofi run several brands from one kitchen?

Yes. Each brand runs as its own outlet with its own menu, ordering link, QR codes and GST details, all in one login. Premium is ₹699 per outlet per month (the base price covers 1 outlet only, up to 5 outlets); Chain at ₹9,999 per month covers up to 5 outlets and grows to 12, with centralised menu sync and outlet-level analytics.

How does Restrofi check delivery customers are real?

Before a customer can save a delivery address, their phone number has to be verified with a code sent on WhatsApp. A phone verified on a device stays trusted on that device for 90 days, so regulars are not asked every time. When the order leaves, the customer sees your rider's name and number or the courier's tracking link.

What does the customer wallet do for a cloud kitchen?

When a customer pays more than the bill, for example in cash, staff can save the change to that customer's wallet instead of handing back coins, and it is used on a later bill. It keeps small balances with your kitchen and gives customers a reason to order again directly.

Does Restrofi charge commission on cloud kitchen orders?

No. Orders from your own Restrofi link, QR codes, meal plans and counter carry 0% commission and no per-order fee. You pay the plan and any add-ons, and online payments settle to your own payment gateway account.
